I am getting the chills watching this video. What comes to my mind when watching the this short documentary is that Chief Medicine Crow was our living connection to the past. It is amazing to realize how much of the world had gone by during his life time.
Grew up in the country inquebec,. no running water or electricity.......read alot...I always wanted to visit the Battle of the GREASY GRASS.........Moved to B.C and went with my daughter to CROW FAIR and the re enactment.....met this nice old FIRST NATIONS man...he told us YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME ON CROW LAND !! I thanked him and we went about our business............some years later before I found out who We had met...... Last WAR chief 3 times over............I am honored to have met Chief JOE.
The Cherokee and Crow languages, while completely different, have a common ancestor language. It's like a non English speaker saying a German's accent in English sounds like a northern Scottish dialect. Both are harsh but they're distantly related.
I had the great honour to visit Joseph Medicine Crow at his home in Lodge Grass MT in September 1994. It was really nice to listen to his Storys. I am from Germany, where he was fighting in WW II.
Wasn’t that long ago there were still survivors around that fought in the LBH 1930s/40s. Many Sioux and Cheyenne were in there teens when they fought. I have snapshots from the 1920s taken on the Crow reservation of Curly and others. Hell-There were still a few Civil war survivors in 1930s that were in 4th of july & Memorial Day parades. The best accounts of the LBH Battle are from Cheyenne and Sioux that lived it.
My grandmother grew up on the Johnson home stead a descendant of Jeremiah Johnson of Lewis and Clark county Montana who was called the crow killer although he was married to a crow .
my respects to the last of the true tribes...R.I.P. CHIEF Joe Medicine Crow...our LORD kept you hear so long for the reason for the season...amen. now your spirit is heading were it needs to be...amen. my condolences to your families @ close friends you left behind.
Montana is very beautiful . THe BIg sky country is other worldly.. My son lived in Kalispell, on the northeast end, The Rockies were gorgeous as was Glacier Nat'l Park.
I wonder if he knew Plenty Coups .he was Crow Scott at the battle of Little Big horn.in his book he talks about a man named medicine Crow.shure he's related.
when was he born? he didn't fight in it. his connection was to those who were. example being i am a connection to my children for my grandparents and children.
@sk8RAS & fabez88..WTH..our N8tiv Nations fought against each other even before the white man even landed on our shores..as N8tiv people we are taught that we are all connected..ALL RELATIONS..those were the sins of our ancestors & have nothing at all to do with what & who we are today as a people. Joe was a true Warrior who served in WWII in the Army. I am Koyukon Athabascan & 12yr Marine Corps Veteran..also come from a long line of Vets..you need to show some respect for our Elders.
The Little Bighorn battlefield is on the Crow reservation. It's an amazing place, and I highly recommend visiting it.

Custer Had It COMING ⚔️🏹🌵🏜💀
yes,but he cost a lot of young inexperienced soldiers their lives due to his arrogance and obvious ignorance of his enemy's tactics
crow got the land Sioux got the credit Cheyenne did the fighting
Dog Soldiers, (Elkhorn Scrappers) Cheyenne Warriors
2nd to none in battle.
French got pushed out too...white boys. So did catholicism, though you cant push out a religion really other than politically neutralize it.
Thunder Wolf yass I'm part cheyenne and oglala and we have stories of how mighty dog soldiers were
America's Great Grandfather.
He was a human historian.
Important

Great hero for both US and the world. I like the story he stole the horses from German officers during the second war. Solute you, Super Chief!
"Speaks about the Battle of the Little Bighorn?" He barely mentioned it.

Come On. Big Village. Be quick. Bring Packs.

You know your right ... only the owl isn't a freaking awesome guy like JMC.
yeah the battle didn't last long either thanks to The Great Buffalo Nation, the Oceti Sakowin. I say that proudly. #Lakota
